This activity is designed to practice: Establish whether a number up to 100 is prime Description of Activity: Hand each pair of students at least 2 sets of shuffled 0-9 cards. Share the cards between the players to create two piles of cards which each player keeps face down. Each player takes it in turn to turn over one card and place in a neat pile in the centre. If the two sequential cards are a prime number, both players should call out “Prime”. The first player to do so wins the centre pile. The winner is the player to get all the cards. Differentiation strategies and teaching hints and tips provided (PLUS A BONUS GAME)

BRAND NEW RESOURCE! Head Start Maths 10, 100 More and Less Jigsaws are a fantastic way to demonstrate understanding and apply key skills to a wide variety of problems in an independent or collaborative way. Each jigsaw consists of 16 square pieces that contain a combination of Questions and Answers. After cutting out each piece, they need to be placed together in a 4 × 4 grid where the Question on one piece matches the Answer on another piece. The outer edge is left blank. Students may want to complete this as an individual task or work with a partner. Each jigsaw spans three pages: 12 of the 16 Question cards 4 of the 16 Question cards and student friendly instructions Solution Teaching Tips Each student / pair / small group of students will need: - One 16 card jigsaw (page 1 and 2); - Scissors; - Glue; - A piece of paper to stick the solution down after it is complete. Set a timer for around 2 minutes for students to cut out the cards and put any paper in the recycling and return their scissors (this can be rewarded with house points etc). Get students to colour in or write their initials in the square in the middle of all 16 cards so they know which cards belong to them. Set an appropriate timer for students to complete the jigsaw. Working should be done separately either in a book or on a mini whiteboard. Allow students to discuss their working with their neighbour and ask each other questions. Encourage them to share understanding, not just their answers. Cards can get blown away easily. Use small objects (e.g. link cubes or stationery) to weigh down cards so students keep track of their solution! If you have the opportunity to rate this resource, it would really inform me about updating / producing more! Thank you

Instructions Students select 6 colours for their diagram. A suggested key is below but students can feel free to use their own colours. Cut out a key for each student to colour in (see Key Cards) Students colour in the key, so they know which colour represents which number solution. Students then complete each calculation in the image and colour it with the correct colour. All calculations use basic arithmetic of + - × ÷ with a few calculations using two operations. They can then add their own decorations to the card and write a festive message inside.
